@very-rusty saidYou should do us a favor, then, and buy yourself a dictionary.
I know you're trying to prove a point to me by using 'cryptomnesia' in a sentence, but it is certainly not every day language we use.

I was looking through the various clubs and clans, and it got me thinking back over the years of all the forum contributors who have graced these boards and how the tone of the forums has ebbed and flowed in that time. The mood took hold of me and I began trawling through a few of the lists of names of bygone chess players and forum combatants.
